Chapter 47: Corpse Turtle
"Half Immortal, what should we do?" Old Hu, who was behind the temple, asked in a panic.
"Run! What else can we do!" I yelled and squeezed the fat man in front of me. Now I have injuries on my body, and I'm afraid that the talisman paper inside my backpack won't be able to be used in a short period of time, and some of the magic weapons are probably the same, and the worst thing is that I can't cast spells at all in my current physical condition.
Fatty was obviously also scared, he hurriedly assisted me with one hand, while quickly moving forward, but unfortunately, his body is really too fat, in the narrow stone cracks in the middle of the shuttle up exceptionally difficult.
On the contrary, the female ghost in the back, her swollen body obviously wasn't moving very well either, but that long hair was probing very far.
"What the hell is this thing?" Old Hu, who was behind the temple, pushed me forward while staring in trepidation at the female ghost that was squeezing into the cracks in the stone. The female ghost moved easily, but the flesh on her body was already rotting, and with every step she squeezed through, a large amount of rotting flesh fell off her body.
A normal ghost had no flesh and blood at all.
The reason why this female ghost still had a body should have something to do with that boulder.
"Half ghost, half corpse, you can understand it as ghost possession!" I explained in a good-natured manner, "She should have had her soul sealed in her tattered body with a spell after death, then suppressed with a boulder, unable to transcend for eternity, and her body also underwent necrophilia. It might be a town council that the tomb builder intentionally used to suppress the entrance."
This wasn't a zombie, nor was it a ghost, but it was something in between, just that the ghost was still there, so its IQ was higher. The person who can create this kind of monster is bound to be a Taoist master.
Old Hu to my statement obviously seem to understand, the back of the female ghost on the body of the rotting flesh fell off a large area, in the stone cracks in the shuttle speed is obviously accelerated, Old Hu saw those teeth and claws of the hair is about to touch him, hastily said: "Half Immortal, think of a way."
As I watched, I was also anxious in my heart, and suddenly thought that there was still glutinous rice in my backpack, and hurriedly said, "You take out the glutinous rice in the backpack behind me and sprinkle it on the ground."
The stone crevice was originally very narrow, but my body was relatively thin, so I was able to carry my backpack through, but the fat man could not, he had already lifted the backpack in his hand, and pulled me on with the other hand.
Old Hu hurriedly removed the backpack behind me, and after rummaging around inside for a while, he took out some glutinous rice and left it on the ground in large handfuls, I was furious, "Take it easy! I don't know what else we will encounter in the future, glutinous rice can repel corpse poison, it is the nemesis of swindlers and zombies, what will we do in the future when you run out like this?"
After Old Hu heard my rant, he was somewhat restrained, but his hand still didn't stop spreading the rice, I really couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly yelled, "Stop spreading it! Put it away for me!"
At the same time, the long hair of the female ghost in the back was already about to touch Old Hu, but after her feet touched those glutinous rice spilled by Old Hu, she hastily retreated several steps back, a wisp of blue smoke coming out from the backs of her feet, and letting out a scream of unwillingness.
"Come on!" Seeing that the glutinous rice was effective, Old Hu yelled out.
The female ghost was obviously a little wary of glutinous rice, but she looked at the walls on both sides and suddenly braced her hands and feet on the walls, slowly crawling over to this side around the glutinous rice on the ground.
"Holy shit!" I couldn't help but yell out, so much glutinous rice on the ground was just wasted!
Old Hu, who was still arrogant, obviously also realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly pushed me to move forward.
Fortunately, although the female ghost was able to bypass the glutinous rice, she didn't dare to land on the ground, and the speed at which she chased me over obviously slowed down a lot.
Just as I was secretly breathing a sigh of relief, rustling sounds suddenly came from directly in front of me, densely packed piece by piece unceasingly, the fat man in front of me asked, "Half Immortal, is there something coming in front of us?"
"How do I know? But I can't even cast a spell right now, if you back off, all of us are doomed!" I roared, don't these two guys often rob tombs? Why are they coming to ask me about everything!
After a while, the sound in front of us obviously became louder, the rustling sound was dense and endless, not only directly in front of us, but even above our heads began to recall this kind of sound.
"Is it ants moving?" Fatty asked.
Judging from the sound, it does sound like there are insects like ants crawling in pieces, however, I've never heard of ants walking and still making sounds after I've lived so long.
"Half Immortal, quickly find a way to help me with this guy behind me!" Old Hu in the back begged for help.
I had two big heads and looked behind me, that female ghost was obviously used to crawling and had increased her speed, that long tousled hair had reached out to the maximum towards Old Hu, who was holding an iron pipe in his hand and waving it haphazardly to open up those few longer hairs.
The iron pipe in Old Hu's hand was like a water pipe, only slightly larger, and was supposed to be an object used to articulate a Luoyang shovel.
"Half Immortal, I feel like we're done for!"
Just as I was thinking about how to solve that female ghost, the fat man in front of me suddenly stopped, I looked at him, and at this moment, the fat man was already full of death.
I looked directly in front of me in disbelief, a large number of insects that looked like shitheads were densely crawling from directly in front of me, and the two sides of the stone wall were also densely populated with such bugs.
"What is this thing?" Compared to the shitheads, this type of insect was much larger, with six legs, no front pincers, and a pitch-black body, while its two small eyes emitted a gloomy and deep light.
"This is a corpse turtle." Fatty said with a bitter smile, "This thing will definitely be found wherever there are corpses, it's just that, this is the first time I've seen so many of them."
Corpse turtle?
Just by hearing that name, one would know that it was not a good bug!
After falling down, they were unable to move.
"I'm on top of you!" Fatty said with a face full of death, "I didn't expect that I would actually die so miserably!"
"Stop complaining!" Old Hu in the back yelled, "Hurry up and go! Or else I won't be able to carry it anymore!"
Old Hu behind me was obviously a bit overwhelmed, originally only needing to crotch three or two hairs, because of stopping for a while, there were now at least a dozen or so heels of hairs that could hit him.
"Half Immortal, what to do?" Fatty, however, suddenly said to me.
How the fuck do I know what to do! Retreating to the back is obviously not possible, in the rock crevice has gone for so long, the female ghost aside, even if I retreat backward, sooner or later, I will definitely be caught up by the corpse turtle, and when I was swept into the cavern by the undercurrent, the oxygen bottle and the frogman suit have both been shunned and broken, and it's impossible to use them again. It was no longer possible to escape from the waters, not to mention, the boulder at the entrance, who knows if the cave was blocked by the female ghost? What if it was blocked?
"Fatty, move forward, this is our only chance." I said hurriedly.
Now I could only hope that I wouldn't be able to walk far ahead to the end, although the corpse turtle was scary, it was after all a bug and didn't have much of a mind, but the female ghost in the back was certainly deadly.
Fatty gritted his teeth and turned off the miner's lamp on his head.
"What are you doing!" After the miner's lamp was turned off, the front was pitch black, only some scattered light from the miner's lamp on Old Hu's head, but the line of sight was obviously obstructed.
"I'll top you, looks like I only have blood money!" Fatty opened the backpack in his hand and took out a bottle of wine from it, the bottle containing the wine was made of iron and had not been broken. He tore off a ball of cloth, "Old Hu, give me a Luoyang Stick."
When Old Hu heard this, he brightened up and said, "I almost forgot, you guy, you can't afford to use it until it's a matter of life and death, can you?"
Old Hu quickly handed the iron pipe in his hand to Fatty, and then took out another one, while blocking the female ghost behind him, he said, "You kid hurry up, I can't carry it anymore."
I was a little confused, one second Fatty said he was dead, how come he was back to life the next second?
Next, I finally understood! This guy wrapped a piece of cloth around the iron pipe, then sprayed the wine from the wine pot on the piece of cloth, took out a lighter and lit it to create a torch, I was furious, "You have this artifact, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Fatty said with some difficulty, "I only brought this small bottle."
"Hurry up! Want to die!" Old Hu in the back yelled.
Fatty wasn't ambiguous anymore, and hurriedly passed the torch around my head to Old Hu, who also turned off the mining lamp and relied on the torch to give a handful of those hairs that were sticking out, and perhaps having gotten a taste of the sweetness of it, he turned his head to Fatty and yelled, "Give me the jug of wine!"
I already guessed what Old Hu wanted to do, but stopped Fatty and said, "The female ghost isn't scary, I should be more or less strong enough to deal with her after we get out of here, save the wine to deal with the corpse turtle first."
Bugs are afraid of fire, this is unchanging for ages, even moths are not afraid of fire, but fire is also the same deadly weapon for moths.
Fatty didn't say anything more, maybe originally also a little reluctant to give up the wine pot, so after making a torch, while driving away the corpse turtle that rushed over, while moving forward, however, the corpse turtle is really too much, although the forefront of the corpse turtle is afraid of the fire and backed off, but the back of the wave of the corpse turtle after the wave of the turtle rushed over, the front of the corpse turtle even if they are afraid of the fire also didn't send to back off, was squeezed forward.
"This is not a solution!" I can also see the seriousness of the situation, the corpse turtle is too much too much, even if the torch is not extinguished, sooner or later the three of us will be swallowed up by the tide of corpse turtles.
"Just how many corpses are there in front of here to raise so many corpse turtles!" Fatty was holding the torch, and although he was still advancing, the speed of advancement had obviously slowed down.
The most bizarre thing was, how could these corpse turtles swarm and pounce on us?
These are bugs! We can't see the end of this crevice, are these corpse turtles that sensitive in their sense of smell? Can they detect if there are people coming from far away? And then attack us in groups?
Or is there something directing them?
Although it is a bug, but I do not dare to underestimate, maybe a two is not terrible, but so large quantities are not afraid of ah! Just like mosquitoes, a mosquito or a dozen mosquitoes is nothing to be afraid of, but if a room full of mosquitoes swarming, not to mention three people, even if it is thirty people can only run for their lives.
"Half Immortal, save me!"
It was at this moment that Old Hu behind me let out a wolfish howl. I hurriedly turned around to look, that female ghost had actually caught up, countless strands of hair seemed to have wrapped around Old Hu's hands. Old Hu had no choice but to let go of the torch in his hands, but the torch landed on the ground after burning off some of the hair, followed by a large amount of hair that quickly wrapped around Old Hu's body before pulling it towards the back.
